Huaraz Santa Cruz Trek Peru
Trekking through the Andes Mountains in Huaraz, Peru. The Santa Cruz Trek took 4 days and was an amazing experience!
We booked our tour with Eco-Ice Peru and are so glad we did. They took great care of us and took us to some of the most unique and hidden gems in all of the Andes mountains. Below is the itinerary we followed from their website. You can book with Eco-Ice at this link:

This old trail was heavily used in pre-Columbian and colonial times as a route for transporting goods from the eastern side of the Andes to the main valley. As we approach the pass, you will enjoy amazing panoramic views down the Santa Cruz Valley to the west, and views of the Huaripampa Valley to the east. The peaks of Santa Cruz surrounded by Andean vegetation of Quenual, the snow-capped peaks of Paria and Taulliraju, Artesonraju and Huaripampa will all come into view.

Eco-Retreat in Junin, Peru -- eco-team building activities
*Support Peace Corps' development of Environmental Leaders:
As part of a project to produce environmental leaders in the province of Junin in the Andes of Peru, I am developing the concept and practice of an Eco-retreat. Combining out-door hiking, teambuilding activities, and personal reflection, we maximize the effect of the 2 day experience so as to motivate the participants to continue with the initiative and teach others about environmental issues, especially proper trash management. This particular activity is to check for whether the group has environmental values; the facilitator reads an action having to do with the environment (ie burning trash), and if it is a bad value, the group must protect the person in the center (representing the lake, or earth) from outsiders pushing the group over.

What's Up with the Weather? [HD]
Europe Hammered by Winter Is North America Next?
While the northern part of North America (Canada is experiencing varied degrees of pleasantly cool (minus 0°C) to above 0 to minus 23°C) the U.S. for the first half of this year's winter, lacked in snow. Ski resorts were covered in bare dirt, while January temperatures in southern California topped July highs.
Then, out of the blue, Europe got clobbered: Over the past two weeks, temperatures in Eastern Europe have nose-dived to -30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit). Blizzards and the bone-chilling cold have resulted in the deaths of over 550 people so far, with rooftop-high snow drifts trapping tens of thousands of villagers in their homes and cutting off access to entire towns. It has even snowed as far south as North Africa.
